The Fenwick Bakery along Harford Road in Parkville is showing its purple pride by baking-up sweet treats for Ravens fans.

Word has spread all across town about the popular little football pound cakes they bake for Ravens fans.

"They are pound cakes dipped in chocolate icing and decorated with purple laces," head baker Michael Meckel tells WBAL's Scott Wykoff as he prepares the cake mix from scratch for another batch of the little footballs. "We used to do them with white laces but they weren't nearly as popular."

Ravens fans have been ordering the little footballs by the dozens during this amazing playoff run by Ray Lewis, Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and company.

"Everybody wants to get something to have on their table," says Meckel who started baking at Fenwick Bakery in 1979. "The little footballs and big football (cakes). Anything with Ravens on it is a welcome addition to anybody's table."

The family run bakery is also baking-up plenty of bigger Ravens cakes, sheet cakes and cupcakes that fans are buying at a fast and furious pace ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Patriots.

One of the few scratch bakeries left in operation The Fenwick Bakery is known for its many delicious baked products. Fenwick Bakery is a love story that began in 1913. Ernest and Alvena Uebersox started their first bakery on Columbia Avenue, now Washington Boulevard.

Claudette Wilson is another loyal Fenwick employee. She owns the other half of the business and is the head decorator. She has been at Fenwick for almost 57 years and has been busy decorating all of the special Ravens-themed cakes that they have been baking at Fenwick Bakery.

"It's real intense, but it's a lot of fun," says Claudette in describing what it's been like decorating all of the cakes for Ravens fans. "It's a lot of fun talking to the people about the game an everything."

So how did they come up with the idea for the little footballs that have turned out to be so very popular with Ravens fans?

Claudette says it was Michael's idea, who she and the rest of the staff at Fenwick Bakery just call Al.

"He thought we use them for eggs at Easter time and he thought they looked like they could be footballs, why not make them into footballs," added the bakery's head decorator. "So that's how it came about."

And for Ravens fans who are loyal Fenwick Bakery customers, you could say the rest is history.

The Ravens fun at Fenwick Bakery doesn't end with those little football cakes.

"We have a larger football cake that would probably serve about 8 to 10 people," says Michael. "It's a nice centerpiece item. It's decorated like a football. Its got some goal posts on it."

The neighborhood bakery along Harford Road in Parkville has become the place to be for Ravens fans with a sweet tooth and purple pride.
